Preparation

Place flour into a bowl and add yeast, salt and sugar. Pour in enough water to make a smooth batter with the consistency of thick pouring cream. Set aside for 15 minutes before using.

Meanwhile, make the raspberry syrup. Place sugar, water and lemon juice into a saucepan. Stir over heat until sugar is dissolved and syrup is simmering. Add raspberries and rosewater and stir to loosen raspberries. Return to simmering then remove from heat.

Dust figs with extra flour then skewer on to a fork. Dip the figs into the batter, rolling the fork to evenly coat the figs. Drop the battered figs into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towel, then arrange on a serving platter. Spoon over some of the raspberry syrup.
